dakṣiṇasyāṃ dānavādyāḥ sthitā yajñasya nārada | tebhyaḥ saṃrakṣaṇārthāya brahmāṇaṃ taddiśi nyaset || 22 ||

It teaches dik-rakṣā (directional safeguarding) in yajña: recognizing obstructive forces and countering them by establishing a presiding divine power, so the rite remains pure and effective.
Though ritual-focused, it implies bhakti through reliance on divine guardianship—placing Brahmā as protector reflects surrender to higher authority to remove obstacles to sacred action.
It highlights ritual application of dik-vibhāga (directional arrangement) and nyāsa/placement within yajña procedure—practical kalpa-style guidance used to prevent disturbances during rites.
